Stayed here many times and every time I am happy with the property. It is new, clean and very quiet. Parking away and safe and when you are moving a child into college, it makes for a nice place to stay. The Toscana restaurant is very good and very convenient attached to the hotel. The pub across the parking lot is a fun place to eat as well. Will stay again.
